history

The municipality, which initially belonged to the Bavarian administrative district of Palatinate , was created in 1937 by merging the former municipalities of Obermiesau (east) and Niedermiesau (west).

Obermiesau was a municipality with an area of ​​671.66 hectares and contained the Obermiesauermühle in addition to the parish village of Obermiesau. Niedermiesau had 579.96 hectares, and next to the village of Niedermiesau, the farms of the Bauernmühle (Siebenmühle) and Schanzerhof.

A year later, in 1938, it was incorporated into the Kusel district after previously belonging to the district office of the same name. After the Second World War , Miesau became part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate within the French occupation zone . In the course of the first administrative reform in Rhineland-Palatinate, the neighboring town of Elschbach was incorporated into Miesau. Three years later, Miesau was again merged with the neighboring community of Bruchmühlbach to form the new local community of Bruchmühlbach-Miesau ; This was accompanied by a move to the Kaiserslautern district.

The former municipality of Miesau originally had an area of ​​12.52 km². This grew through the incorporation of Elschbach (2.13 km²) to 14.65 km² before the municipality in 1972 merged into the new municipality of Bruchmühlbach-Miesau.
